Rise Up!

VERSE
One man alone had a dream people should be free
More than a march, it changed the course of history
Up on the rooftop, no black & white
just you and me, and out in the street
Hand-held walls no distance in between

CHORUS
When you call I’ll be there
You don’t have to stand alone
Voices of the world
We can do much more
Come together and rise up

VERSE
One student alone, face glows from computer screen
Sayin “man this just ain’t right” to the friends he’s never seen
Up on the rooftops flash-mobs appear
it’s you and me, and out in the street
they’re rising up: their post liked and received

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Voice to voice
Race to race
Screen to screen
Face to face
On smart-phones
Through networks
Make them gifts not mistakes

All people
Race to race
Screen to screen
Face to face
All human
Together
Join in rise up

When you call I’ll be there
You don’t have to stand alone

CHORUS
